[Peripheral nervous system in children with chronic inflammatory otorhinolaryngologic diseases]

A comparative evaluation of central and vegetative nervous as well as cardiovascular systems in 20 normal children and 45 patients with ENT problems found out vegetative lability in 8 children. Three of them were from the control healthy group, 4 had tonsillitis, 1 purulent sinusitis. These children were referred to the vegetative dystonia risk group. In 28 patients (9.3 and 16 cases of purulent-polypous, purulent and decompensated tonsillitis, respectively) parasympathicotonic and sympathicotonic shifts revealed in the baseline vegetative tone and vegetative reactivity require adequate therapeutic correction.
